What I absolutely loved most about this book was that it is not a typical "horror." This was the story of what fear and panic can do to people, whether they use it to torment the masses or whether they allow themselves to believe the lies of those in power. Steven King does a brilliant job of building up the characters and developing a fantastic, detailed story that draws you in to every chapter. My biggest disappointment was the ending. Although it ties in to one of the overall themes of the book, it seemed completely random in the face of what he had created in his story. Overall, it was a great book that I enjoyed, but the randomness of the ending makes my rating a 4/5 stars.
